Leucadendron salignum x laureolum
A long stalk with green and pink to red leaves forming up into what appears to be a flower.
Native garden in Cowra.
Have seen this plant many times but wish to get an ID

Not me. I didn't do anything but take up space. But I am going to go read about your beautiful plant ...
Thanks Suzanne & Leanne. Team work always gets results.
Good one Kerry!
Hurrah ... congrats on the ID!
Thanks Leanne, I think you are right. Leucadendron salignum x laureolum.
Sorry, I took this photo in Cowra. I had one in my garden until not so long ago but it has died. Will see if I can find out what it is. Leanne I don't think its a protea because it has no flowers. I'll go hunting on the net.
Try Leucadendron Kerry. I had thought Protea straight away, but I think Leucadendron might be a winner. See what you think.
Thanks, KerryHawkins. Such nice, subtle colors. You know what might help? If it's nearby, it might help to add a photo of the whole plant.
Sorry, and the plant is quite a large bush with lots of these stalks on it.
Suzanne, I think it's just more leaves formed into the same shape as the leaves. They just open out gradually. Does that help?
Hmm. What's in the middle ... if you look at it from directly above? How big is this plant?
